Also to expose them to a wider scope of career and aspiration building activities.
On 17th April, the city witnessed a one of its kind golf tournament where 100 elite corporate golfers from all walks of life came forward to contribute their bit to the bigger cause. It was an overwhelming experience for the golfers too. The event was graced by presence of Honorable Member of Legislative Council (Karnataka) Mr. B.S. Suresh and Padmashree Syed Mujtaba Hussain Kirmani, eminent international cricket figure for the prize distribution ceremony. Mr. Kirmani also participated in the golf tournament.

Our core tenet of ‘enriching lifestyles’ not only applies to our customers, but also to the larger community. We are proud to associate with Make-A-Difference in this noble endeavor. The knowledge that we are contributing, albeit in a small way, to bettering the lives of children is gratifying to all of us at Assetz. We wish Make-A-Difference and the children it serves every success. Our participation in this event affirms our commitment to similar initiatives in the future.”
